Kitten Foster Program

In 2017, Animal Services created a foster program for kittens who are too young to be spayed or neutered and adopted upon their admission. Many of these kittens arrive at the shelter during “kitten season,” the months from spring through early winter when there is a persistent influx of pregnant cats and kitten litters.

Purpose

Foster homes help to reduce the number of felines housed at the shelter, which greatly decreases both the incidence and spread of upper respiratory infections among felines. Also, these foster homes are often an ideal setting for feline socialization and they can help to reduce stress for the kittens.

Animal Services will be closed Monday, 12/24, through Wednesday, 12/26, for the Christmas Holiday. We will still have an Animal Control Officer on call for animal-related emergencies, including potential rabies exposures, animal bites to humans, and animals in extreme danger. Please call 9-1-1 to be connected to our on-call officer during these hours when we are closed.
